We immediately sent her a message. And then we realized, you might feel the same way too, so here we are.
Many women face these ‘big life questions’ regarding their career when they plan to move abroad, and years after they relocate. Whether they move on their own, follow a dream, or relocate with their partner and family. And in recent years, the idea of becoming a freelancer, opening our own businesses, embracing a digital nomad lifestyle (with or without a family) has become a thing!
The possibility to take your knowledge with us everywhere, without having the geographic bounds, allowing us the freedom to work on our own terms can be exciting and an actual option for many situations but how do we actually make it work, for real?!
Relocating to a new country is not merely a physical journey; it is also an emotional and mental one.
Taking the time to emotionally and mentally prepare yourself before moving abroad can significantly impact your journey and freelancing success. Here are two essential tips to help you navigate with confidence and resilience:
1. Knowing Your Real Reason to Move
Understanding your true motivation for moving abroad is crucial. Your reason has to be 100% yours, emotional and be strong enough to keep you going when things get though. How do we find it? By simply asking ourselves ‘why’ enough times to find the real hidden truth. Knowing your real reason will help you stay focused and committed throughout the journey. It will serve as a guiding star during moments of uncertainty or doubt. Take the time to contemplate your intentions, write them down, and revisit them whenever you need a reminder.

2. Prioritize Yourself & Your Energy
Moving abroad can be exhilarating but also overwhelming. As you navigate the world of freelancing abroad, remember to prioritize self-care. Take time for yourself—spend moments in nature, indulge in hobbies, or simply breathe and recharge. Self-care isn’t just a fleeting indulgence; it’s the fuel that keeps you going and provides the energy you need to tackle new challenges. Embrace self-care as a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. Designate specific “Me Time” on your calendar, and honor these moments as you would any other important commitment.
Your emotional well-being is the foundation for a successful freelancing experience abroad.
